Now that we're back on the porn, I'm glad that I can reiterate that it'll get rid of many of the "intelligent" posters and almost certainly nix the female population. Nobody respectable wants to hang out at a porno / discussion site. And I can't post at work on such a site. I'd rather this place not turn into WhatBoysWant.com or Phun.org. I'd have to leave if it did because I don't want a post about someone learning how to play the saxophone beneath a post about "Anal Beads Picz Marathon." I'm sure I'm not alone. Porn and warez might be good for business but they defeat the purpose of the site.

You can hang the TFP title on a porn site, but it's still just a porn site. Forums are dying because peoples' braincells and willpower are declining.

I don't have Facebook, I don't like Facebook... but my perspective on "The Death of Forums" is that people are lazy. SMS has become a language because people have a hard time operating the shift key and got a C in ENG-302. When they have questions, they get answers from the closest person they can when they need something. A forum isn't about that. A forum is about meeting strange new people with different perspectives, right?

TFP is outside my social network. I'd never have met any of you on Facebook. Before TFP, I'd never conversed with a Canadian.

I am better for having found this place. I'd like to work to keep it going in a positive way.
